Answer:

P = (\frac{8}{3},\frac{11}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

X = (1,2)

Y = (6,7)

Required

The point at 1/3 of XY

If the point is at 1/3 for X, then the other end (to Y) is 2/3

So, we have:

m:n = 1/3:2/3

Multiply by 3

m:n = 1:2

The point (P) is calculated using:

P = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n})

This gives:

P = (\frac{1*6 + 2*1}{1+2},\frac{1*7 + 2*2}{1+2})

P = (\frac{8}{3},\frac{11}{3})

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

you find the lowest common denominator in this case is 10

then you take 1/2 and multiply it by 5 both the bottom and top and then you should get 5/10

next you do the same with 2/5 but this time to the get the denominator to 10 you multiply by 2 again multiply both bottom and top and you should get 4/10

now you just add 4/10 and 5/10 together and you get 9/10 or 0.9 as a decimal
